The Best Cure for Hiccups
Apr 28, 2008 Health
No, not “drunk” hiccups.
Apparently, if you happen to get the hiccups, an effective remedy is to drink warm water:
“…hiccups are caused by the spasming of the diaphragm, a sheet of muscle located across the bottom the ribcage. And what do you do when a you get a muscle cramp? You apply heat. Does this method work? You bet. It works like a charm every time. The hiccups will resolve in less than a minute (usually about 15 seconds). If it doesn’t, what you’re drinking isn’t warm enough, try something warmer.”
So, next time you get hiccups, give this a try!
